Condominium Zoning Plans Get Plantation`s First Ok

PLANTATION — City Council members tentatively have approved rezoning 23 acres at the Lakes of Newport condominium from office park to 16 living units per acre.

Former council member Neil La Hurd, an attorney representing Broadview Savings, told the council on Wednesday that his client plans to build two- and three-story 336-unit condominums in the Lakes development.

Previous plans for that land called for a rezoning to allow rentals, but that proposal was met with opposition from surrounding residents and city officials.
